Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has won a clear majority of support to form the next coalition government, a spokesman for the president's office told AFP on Monday.
President Reuven Rivlin is wrapping up two days of talks with representatives of the 10 parties elected to parliament to hear who they would recommend as prime minister, with six throwing their support behind Netanyahu.
"He has just met with Yisrael Beitenu and they have just recommended Netanyahu, giving him 67," presidential spokesman Jason Pearlman told AFP of the number of MPs in the 120-seat parliament who would back the Israeli leader.
